Habs Heavy World Cup of Hockey Contribution

World Cup training camps opened yesterday – with several notable Habs present. We know the rosters, and we already were able to witness some of the combination that will be used by a few teams. Statistically speaking, of the 184 players listed on the eight rosters, 169 are issued from NHL teams, nine comes from the KHL, one from the Swiss National League and 5 are free agents. Each NHL Teams provide from 1 (Ottawa Senators) to 12 (Tampa Bay Lightning) players to the different rosters.

Habs are right in the middle of the pack with six players representing their nations in Toronto in September.
